on my new rx splits that i have, it says on a bbs sticker on them to fit the tyres from the inside edge only

is this really necessary, and whats the benifits from doing this, surely clamping the wheel down in a machine the other way will just damage the faces?

any help or advice appreciated

cheers

do they have a deep dish on them only reason i can think of

its so as not to damage the shiny side, and the dish may not be strong enough to lever against, go to any alloy wheel place they should have the special wheel machine with loads of wheels on etc and you can clamp the wheel from the outside without damaging!

it doesn't damage them, my deep dish wheels off my old car had to have the my stretched tyres put on/removed "upside down", no marks at all on the wheels

also for fitting you try getting a tyre past the dish bit its a joke
